Audiopharmacy

A few weeks ago I went to an event at the American Indian Community House, which is a really nice educational space in Lower Manhattan. Members of Audiopharmacy were present and played a few low-key tunes. Let's just say, I was impressed.
The band is actually a sort of collective, and are from the Bay area. Here's their bio:

"For those who don't know, the group started back in '94. Teao and Zygoat made music under the name II Sense (two sense). In '97, they combined with Defiance and Laxman to form Kaotic Souls, one of the only experimental and conscious hip hop acts in San Jose, Ca. The group eventually grew to the supa huge size of about 30 members... all spirtually connected artists. Finally in 2002, they created the name Audiopharmacy Prescriptions. Now, Kaotic Souls is broken down to subgroups, all of which are in the Audiopharmacy family. Audiopharmacy Prescriptions then became the San Francisco indi label which supports and signs unknown kin met along the path of consciousness and community. respect people's planets."

I think its great that they have their own label.

Check them out for yourself, here's "Honward" from their latest album U Forgot About Us.



Find more of their songs on their myspace. I especially like "Jah I Way" - a lot.
